Middle East2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported46m ago
Turkish authorities have detained a suspect linked to the deadly 2013 twin bombing in Reyhanli near the Syrian border. The suspect, identified as Syrian national Omar al-Khatib, was apprehended by Turkey's intelligence agency while attempting to flee to Europe. Al-Khatib was the subject of an Interpol red notice and is believed to have acted as a coordinator between the attackers and intelligence officials loyal to former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The 2013 attack in Reyhanli resulted in 53 deaths and served as a significant example of the violent spillover from the Syrian civil war into Turkish territory.
